After chatting with Teng Gang for a long time about the changes in the situation outside, Zhuang Jiutian suddenly asked about the casting materials.
"Do you want to cast a weapon?" In Teng Gang's opinion, Zhuang Jiutian's inquiry about fine gold was unnecessary. After all, the cold crystal sword in his hand was extremely sharp. Teng Gang had never seen a sharper weapon than it.
"I have such a plan. I wonder if the tribe can come forward to buy some fine gold for me. I still have some ferocious beast materials that I can't use." Afterwards, Zhuang Jiutian moved out all the ferocious beast materials he had stored in the past few years.
, the large number even surprised Teng Gang.
"Such ferocious beast materials can be exchanged for at least 100,000 kilograms of fine gold. There are not many survivors in the tribe, so we need to exchange them outside." After Teng Gang counted the ferocious beast materials in detail, he looked at Zhuang with a puzzled look.
Jiutian. You must know that in order to cast the magic weapon in his hand, only 600 kilograms of fine gold were used. Now Zhuang Jiutian needs hundreds of thousands of fine gold. How heavy will the made weapon be?
Can it be carried? Then Teng Gang asked: "Mr. Zhuang, what kind of weapon do you want to forge, and you need so much fine gold?"
Zhuang Jiutian smiled and said nothing, and then sighed: "It would be better if there was magic iron. Fine gold is almost useless. Brother Teng Gang, please ask me later. If these things are not enough, what else do I have?"
There are several treasures.”
"The iron god is very rare, and I have only seen one the size of a fist. Let me go to the clan leader and ask for you. The clan leader came up with the iron god back then."
"sorry to bother you."
"Wherever this is, it should be." Then, Teng Gang left with a few boxes of ferocious beast materials.
The reason why Zhuang Jiutian suddenly wanted divine iron was because he planned to forge a large iron pot to cook the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts. After all, stewed meat in a large pot was the most delicious enjoyment.
As his cultivation level increased, Zhuang Jiutian discovered that ordinary stoves were no longer enough to stew the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts that were full of spirituality and essence.
Many times before, the cauldron he used to cook meat was penetrated by the energy emitted by the flesh and blood of the ferocious beast.
As for why a large pot was cast instead of a tripod, it is because a large pot is easy to carry around, but a tripod is not easy to carry.
It's not that he doesn't want to make a tripod, but the conditions don't allow it. Before the Qiankun Bag, the practicality of the cauldron was much more useful to him than the tripod.
After all, it is easier to take the blame than to carry the blame.
Moreover, carrying the cauldron on your back can also be used as a shield in critical moments.
And it’s helpful to practice the Black Turtle Art with him. (Ha! Carrying a big pot on your back, experience the feeling of a turtle with a shrunken head!)
At noon the next day,
The old patriarch of the Horned Snake Tribe came to Zhuang Jiutian's yard with hundreds of kilograms of divine iron and thousands of kilograms of fine gold.
"How can I bother you to go there in person?" Zhuang Jiutian said a little regretfully when he saw the old patriarch personally delivering the divine iron and fine gold. After all, the old patriarch valued him so much as an outsider who was living there.
Zhuang Jiutian was a little flattered.
"Mr. Zhuang, are you planning to leave our Horned Snake Tribe?" The old patriarch's vision is indeed extraordinary, far beyond what Teng Gang and others can match. Just from the small matter of Zhuang Jiutian's need for a huge fine gold casting,
It was obvious that he was planning to leave.
"Haha! Nothing can be hidden from your eyes, old patriarch." Zhuang Jiutian did have plans to leave, because he already felt that his cultivation was showing signs of stagnation. If he continued to practice in the Horned Snake Tribe, he would
His cultivation may grow extremely slowly. Only by wandering in the wilderness and eating the flesh and blood of more powerful ferocious beasts can his cultivation continue to grow.
"However, don't worry, I have already taught the children everything I need to teach them. I have also recorded several books on my practice experience at each stage, which will be left to them when the time comes. As long as those children follow the steps, they will definitely be able to achieve success in the future.
Achievements.”
Zhuang Jiutian knew what the old patriarch was worried about, so he patiently explained to him. It was false that the tribe that had lived for several years had no feelings, but in order to achieve immortality, he could not live here forever.
"Mr. Zhuang is still thoughtful." The old patriarch was reassured and asked, "I wonder if these magical irons are enough for you to cast weapons."
After Zhuang Jiutian looked at the materials of the divine iron and fine gold, he said: "It would be great if there were more and better metals. These can be used."
"Mr. Zhuang plans to forge some kind of weapon. I know a place where there are enough fine gold deposits. However, the mine is very dangerous. There are often metal storms blowing. We can only occasionally go down to mine when the wind stops.
Come out with some divine iron and fine gold. There is a good chance that there will be the divine metal you need." Seeing a look of disappointment flashing through Zhuang Jiutian's eyes, the old patriarch directly revealed the secret at the bottom of the box.
"Where?" Zhuang Jiutian was immediately attracted by the news provided by the old patriarch.
"I'll take you there."
Afterwards, the old patriarch took Zhuang Jiutian to a small valley with rugged rocks about seven or eight hundred miles away from Shizhai. If you don't observe carefully, you may not be able to discover the existence of the mine, and you will only be confused with that valley.
Think of it as an ordinary bad valley.
The valley is not big, less than a mile long and only dozens of feet wide, with weeds scattered here and there.
But after walking into the valley, you can feel the difference. The breeze in the valley is like a small sharp knife, blowing on the body like thousands of needles. Although it is not powerful enough to pierce the skin, if a mortal stays here for a long time,
, will definitely be harmed.
After careful examination, Zhuang Jiutian discovered that the culprit that caused all this was the not-so-conspicuous mine.
Turning the treasure technique to observe the mine, he found that there was a strong metal storm blowing in the cave one after another.
Strangely enough, the metal storm in the cave seemed to be very fast and extremely destructive, but when it hit the entrance of the cave, it suddenly weakened and only a slight amount of energy escaped, as if there were living creatures deep in the mine controlling the metal storm.
The range is average.
After carefully observing outside the cave for a long time, Zhuang Jiutian showed a strange look. The metal storm was very regular and seemed to be the product of the respiration of the mine.
"Old patriarch, when does the metal storm in the cave usually stop?"
"Every six months, the storm in the mine will pause for half a day. That is also the time when we can enter the mine to mine fine gold. The fine gold veins exist near the entrance of the cave, but if you want to obtain the divine iron, you need to go deep into it.
It can only be obtained from the depths of the mine." These experiences were explored with blood by members of the Horned Snake tribe in the past generations, and divine iron is extremely difficult to obtain. The hundreds of kilograms of divine iron stored in their tribe were accumulated by their ancestors throughout the generations.
of.
The depths of the mine are too dangerous for them. The respite period of the metal storm is not a strict time period. Sometimes it will suddenly revive, and all the creatures inside will be blown to pieces.
Moreover, the divine iron is heavy, so if you can occasionally dig out one or two pieces, you are extremely lucky.
Moreover, the Horned Serpent tribe does not have very sophisticated casting methods, and cannot exert the true power of divine iron. It is only used as a auxiliary material, and some is added when forging weapons from adamantine to make the weapons sharper.

This mine is not simple, and Zhuang Jiutian quickly made his own judgment.
It was not yet the intermission period of the metal storm, and then he left the valley with the old patriarch and others.
After returning to Shizhai, the old patriarch asked: "Mr. Zhuang, when do you plan to leave?"
"There are still some things that need to be prepared. I will let you know when I leave."
Afterwards, the old patriarch took the practice notes written by Zhuang Jiutian and left with satisfaction.
Zhuang Jiutian did not tell the old patriarch and others about his idea of using divine iron to cast a cauldron, after all, the painting style was a bit strange.
After all, walking in the wilderness with a cauldron on your back gives people a different feeling than carrying a giant sword or a heavy hammer.
However, Zhuang Jiutian didn't think there was anything wrong with casting the cauldron at all.
It can be used for both cooking and fighting, so why not?
However, there is still more than a month until the metal storm inside the mine stops.
This just gave Zhuang Jiutian enough time to go to the wilderness to catch a magical little thing.
A rare spiritual beast called the Caiguang Beast, which looks like a chameleon.
The Glory Beast can be "invisible" directly in place by adjusting the color and luster of its skin, and it can also block the detection of spiritual consciousness. It is the best material for making talisman paper in Zhuang Jiutian's plan.
Although the "Milk Jar Ancestral Talisman" imitated from ordinary talisman paper has a good effect in concealing the breath, it will be seen through by monks with a higher level of cultivation.
And a young brilliance beast can hide it from the spiritual consciousness of a strong person in the cave sky realm.
This accidental discovery made Zhuang Jiutian realize that if its animal skin was used to make talisman paper, the effect of the "Qi Condensation Talisman" would be beyond imagination.
If you want to survive freely in the wilderness, combat power is not the first guarantee. Hiding your breath is the strongest way for various creatures to thrive.
There is a treasure on his body that can cover his aura. The next help for Zhuang Jiutian may be no less than a powerful treasure.
After all, not being easily discovered means that the probability of encountering danger is greatly reduced and the probability of survival is greatly increased.
It's a pity that the lighting beasts are very clever, and they have the magical power to mask their aura and hide their body shape, so it is difficult for ordinary people to catch them.
Even if a low-level monk takes action, it is not easy to catch the Glory Beast.
It's not that it's powerful in combat or fast, but that it's hard to be found.
If it feels the slightest disturbance, it will "invisible" in place.
Zhuang Jiutian spent a full month searching in the wilderness, and finally caught a colorful light beast that had just given birth.
After using special techniques to process and refine its animal skin, Zhuang Jiutian obtained seven pieces of animal skin talisman.
Then he used the spiritual blood of the light-collecting beast as ink and the wolf hair as a pen, and began to draw the "Qi Condensation Talisman".
Finally, three talismans with Qi-concentrating effects were successfully drawn. The others all failed, and the animal skin talismans became scorched and could no longer be used.
Seeing three successful "Qi Condensing Talismans", Zhuang Jiutian became more confident about the next adventure in the wilderness.
After returning to Shizhai and resting well for two days, Zhuang Jiutian took the cold crystal sword and came alone outside the valley where the mine was located.
One day later, the metal storm in the mine suddenly disappeared, and Zhuang Jiutian knew that the time had come.
Without wasting a second, he immediately rushed into the mine.
The old patriarch said that the cave is the safest when the metal storm has just disappeared. The longer it takes, the more dangerous it becomes. After all, no one knows when the metal storm will suddenly blow up.
But as soon as he entered the mine, he felt endless pressure coming from all directions, forcing him to crawl to the ground.
Soon, he realized the problem. He couldn't use the power of magic in the mine, and could only rely on pure physical power to move forward.
After adapting to the rules in the mine, Zhuang Jiutian took out his luminous beads and ran towards the depths of the mine.
Soon, he saw veins of fine gold in the surrounding branch caves.
However, that's not his goal.
Continuing to go deeper and walking more than ten miles, Zhuang Jiutian discovered traces of the Shentie vein.
But he still didn't stop, he wanted to see what good things were in the deepest part of the mine.
After going some distance further, Zhuang Jiutian was suddenly attracted by a stone embedded in the cave wall that exuded a silver-white metallic luster.
"Spiritual iron!" After taking a closer look, Zhuang Jiutian couldn't help but exclaimed.
Legend has it that the divine iron is the product of the fusion of the spirit and the divine iron veins after the death of the gods. It possesses incredible spirituality.
Without hesitation, Zhuang Jiutian waved the cold crystal sword and started digging. The mine was much harder than he imagined. With the sharpness of the cold crystal sword, he could only dig out walnut-sized stones at a time.
After digging for more than two hours, Zhuang Jiutian dug out two pieces of divine iron that were as big as two pots.
Carrying the two pieces of divine iron weighing ten thousand kilograms, Zhuang Jiutian ran directly outside the mine without looking back.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue to search for better metals, but the lesson of the monkey breaking the corn must not be forgotten.
The mine will not run away, and there will be plenty of opportunities to come back in the future.
When he ran out of the mine, sweating profusely and almost exhausted, before he could have a cup of tea, the metal storm in the cave returned.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Zhuang Jiutian felt that the metal storm in the mine became three times more intense than before.
Spiritual iron is a good material that can be used to cast divine weapons. Zhuang Jiutian did not take them back to Shizhai.
Instead, he carried them directly to the Earth Fire Cave thousands of miles away.
For more than two months that followed, Zhuang Jiutian spent time in the blazing underground fire cave.
Finally, the two pieces of divine iron were cast into a large iron pot half a meter in diameter.
However, the freshly baked cauldron shimmered with silver luster, and it was not ordinary at first glance. It was too conspicuous. Fortunately, Zhuang Jiutian had prepared it in advance. He took out a pack of black powder and mixed it with special resin.
The large pot was dyed black, as if it were coated with a non-stick coating.
When Zhuang Jiutian appeared in Shizhai carrying a big black pot, he immediately made the children laugh.
Even the women in the tribe showed a knowing smile.
As for the warriors, they were even more surprised to see Zhuang Jiutian's masterpiece, and in the end they couldn't help laughing like "pig noises".
